The Dordogne is full of beautiful locations and has plenty of intersting activities for everyone to engage in.
From golf to horse riding, walking, biking, canoeing, fiishing, historical sites, beautiful villages and regular markets,
Canoes and kayaks are available to hire along the banks of the Dordogne and Vezere rivers. Being wide and generally shallow, both rivers can be enjoyed whether you are a beginner or a skilled amateur.
For golfers there are good courses in the area. Tennis lovers can use the local municipal courts. If you enjoy hiking, then the area has some tremendous walks with breathtaking scenery. Come in the autumn and you may well discover wild mushrooms as you trek. If you are an angler, there are plentiful rivers and lakes in which to fish. From Chub to Carp almost all types of fish can be caught.
